A big "buzz phrase" currently is,
PositiveSchoolCulture, which i registered today.
While I was waiting for my new domains to be added to Sedo I also listed them at Dan()com.
(Still haven't had a chance to switch Name servers to Dan name servers yet).
less than an hr later I received a low ball offer of $99.
I was able to figure out who the offer came from and its the CEO of a very nice looking Web development/Services, CRM etc Company.
I just wanted to share the steps I took to track down who the offer came from and how I responded to his offer based on the information I was able to collect on him.
I'm sure for many of you this is common knowledge so this is more geared toward the newer domain investors.
His dan profile name was his first and last name with middle initial.
I Searched that on whoxy.com, got a hit on his name and reviewed the domains registered to his name.
In reviewing his portfolio, I saw the geographic location for the the registered owner of the listed
domains, which matched his Linkedin personal profile location.
His personal linkedin profile, listed him as the CEO of his company, which is a web Development company.
I reviewed his companies website to see the types of clients there were in his portfolio and location of the business.
Concluded that this is for sure, the person who made the offer.
Note: His name is a very common name and there were a couple times i thought i had the right person but needed to be certain which is why you always want to be thorough in this.
His Geo location was not a very common area too, which helped confirm he was the correct person.
So now back to the offer, I know who he is now and have a pretty good idea of his spending potential.
My Response to $99 offer on my less than 1 hr old domain:
I thanked him for the offer, declined it and politely said,
"I'm sure with your knowledgeable background in seo & web dev and also being the CEO of a successful website dev company,( named his actual company name), that you're aware that's not a serious offer for this domain."
I then complimented his companies online portfolio, (again, using the actual company name), and said if you'd care to make a serious offer in the future please feel free.
Then I messaged him on Linkedin letting him know i just replied to his offer on Dan.com and thanked him again.
I just thought I'd share for all the folks that bash hand regs and also for all the people that do hand regs.
If you do your homework, and read A LOT on future market trends for various industries, tech, education, health, etc., there are plenty of available key word rich, exact match domains yet to be registered.
Honestly I could care less that it was a low ball offer, it just feels good when your research and efforts are validated.
The sales will come.
Happy Hunting everyone.
